465: The first human space warrior

The Star Plan training base is located in the deepest part of Space City, where the military's most cutting-edge technology and talent are gathered.

Towering spires and spanning bridges intertwine, forming an intricate yet aesthetically pleasing structure.

When Bai Yiming entered the base, the first thing that caught his eye was the spacious and bright training hall. The hall was equipped with various advanced training devices, from gravity adjustment devices that simulate a space environment to virtual reality combat simulators, all of which revealed the power of technology.

As he delved deeper into the base along the corridor, he could see various Laboratories and research rooms.

In these rooms, scientists in white lab coats busily operated various precision instruments. They were either researching new types of space materials or developing new combat technologies, each person silently contributing to the Star Plan.

The deepest part of the base was the Consciousness Upload Center, a place full of mystery. The center housed a massive array of computers, their screens glowing with a faint blue light. Here, the consciousness of space warriors would be uploaded to a virtual world for training and education.

The moment Bai Yiming stepped into the base, he felt a chilling and tense atmosphere. He knew that his upcoming days would be exceptionally arduous and perilous.

A female researcher in a white lab coat greeted Bai Yiming, and along the way, she continuously explained the precautions for the transformation.

Bai Yiming remained silent the entire time, just listening quietly.

The female researcher's voice was pleasant, clear, and melodious, but Bai Yiming had no interest. At this moment, his mind was filled with Xiao Xiao's image, and his mood was extremely chaotic.

If he didn't survive the transformation, would Xiao Xiao feel sorry for him? Perhaps she would only see him as an ordinary passerby.

A wave of helplessness surged within Bai Yiming, but he quickly adjusted his mindset. Regardless, he had to give his all and strive to become stronger.

The door to the Laboratory slowly opened, revealing the complex equipment and instruments inside.

“Officer Bai Yiming, have you made up your mind? You are the first space warrior to undergo this transformation, and you may face various uncontrollable risks. If you want to withdraw now, it’s not too late!”

Bai Yiming let out a long breath and said, “I’ve made up my mind!”

After he finished speaking, he took the first step and entered the Laboratory.

Bai Yiming lay on the cold operating table, surrounded by countless robotic arms and various flashing instruments.

Scientists in white lab coats, wearing masks and gloves, were busy at work, and the surrounding instruments continuously flashed lights.

During the transformation process, Ability Users needed to remain conscious throughout, which was an extremely cruel punishment for anyone. Element control and energy sensing were both related to the Ability User's consciousness strength. Losing consciousness during the transformation would mean the failure of the entire transformation plan.

“Are you ready!” an old professor asked from in front of the operating table.

Bai Yiming gritted his teeth and nodded.

“Begin!”

With the old professor's command, a slender needle extended from a robotic arm, piercing into Bai Yiming's muscle and injecting a special Superpower Potion. The transformation potion combined the previous Superpower Potion and Transforming Potion, and was charged with a lethal dose.

Superpower Users only had a slim chance of success, let alone ordinary people.

Bai Yiming felt a sudden hum in his brain, followed by an unprecedented surge of pain. He felt as if his entire body's muscles were being torn apart by countless beasts, and his bones were being shattered inch by inch by a heavy hammer.

On the operating table, Bai Yiming's face became extremely distorted.

Crack!

The immense pain caused his facial muscles to twitch, his jawbone to fracture, and his eyes instantly filled with blood. Even so, Bai Yiming did not let out a single cry of pain, nor did he move an inch.

Following this, long, thin needles continuously penetrated his body, injecting various potions into Bai Yiming's body. If the Superpower Potion was a full-body transformation, then the space warrior transformation was a precision-targeted transformation for every internal organ, every cell, and every tissue. Superpower Potion, Transforming Potion, nanobot potion, consciousness-enhancing potion, bioelectric stimulation, element injection – a series of procedures.

Each item could kill an ordinary person, and to complete all of them while remaining conscious, the pain was unimaginable.

When it reached three-quarters of the way, blood overflowed from Bai Yiming's eye sockets, and his entire eyeballs turned blood red. The entire process lasted ten days, with the experimental staff working in three shifts, continuously observing Bai Yiming's physical condition.

......

Blue Star:

On the beach in Donghai City, Xiao Xiao was building her house. Here, the view was expansive and the scenery was excellent.

Now, Blue Star's ecology had recovered, and everything was thriving. The gentle sea breeze blew, carrying a hint of saltiness and coolness, seemingly capable of blowing away all worries and sorrows.

Xiao Xiao busily built her small house, her face beaming with satisfaction and happiness.

This house was designed by her, simple and cozy. The house was surrounded by various flowers and plants, forming a beautiful landscape.

While Xiao Xiao was busy, her mind wandered. That guy, Bai Yiming, was indeed able to hold his breath; he hadn't contacted her through the consciousness link for ten days.

But this was also good; he ultimately had his own path to walk. Xiao Xiao smiled slightly; with eternal life, she had plenty of time. That man, perhaps, also understood that he needed to become better to be qualified to stand before her.

Xiao Xiao didn't care about the gap between him and her, but she highly valued his ambition. Since he had made his decision, she would no longer disturb him.

The beach house was finally built, and Xiao Xiao looked at her creation with satisfaction. She walked into the house, lay on the soft bed, and felt the gentle caress of the sea breeze and the lapping of the waves. Everything here was so peaceful and beautiful, as if it were a secluded paradise far from the madding crowd.

Night gradually fell, and the beach house was shrouded in the hazy moonlight. Xiao Xiao lay quietly on the bed, listening to the sound of the sea.

Her heart suddenly twitched, and Xiao Xiao frowned slightly. She sat up abruptly, a strange panic welling up in her heart, slowly spreading.

“Bai Yiming!” Xiao Xiao murmured.

Within her consciousness, the connection became weak, gradually disappearing. That man was in trouble.

Xiao Xiao scrambled up, a teleportation passage opened, and in an instant, she appeared in humanity's Space City.

Xiao Xiao's consciousness instantly enveloped the entire Space City, but she did not find the aura she was searching for.

Bang!

Xiao Xiao pushed open the door to Bai Yan's office directly. Bai Yan stood up, looking at Xiao Xiao with some astonishment.

“Where is Yiming?”

Xiao Xiao asked, her face showing panic and anxiety.
